One day Shark Cage Diving Adventure - DIVER or SPECTATOR

Calypso Star Charters provides guests with the ultimate adventure activity with an Advanced Eco Certified one day Great White Shark Cage Diving tour. Established in 1990 Calypso Star Charters was awarded South Australia’s Best Adventure Tour at the 2015 South Australian Tourism Awards, and is the market leader for these tours with more people choosing to cage dive with Calypso Star than any other operator in Australia.

Privileged to be the only one day operator to hold a permit to use natural fish berley to attract Great White Sharks. The use of natural fish berley gives us the highest chance of sighting sharks and productive interaction close to our vessel and cage, resulting in a memorable encounter and wonderful photographic opportunities
